9 September 2026

Mr Chua Kheng Wee Louis asked the Minister for Transport regarding the feasibility study for a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system at Tuas South

a.             what are the criteria and timeline used to evaluate the BRT's feasibility;

b.             whether similar medium-capacity systems such as trams have been considered; and

c.             what is the intended passenger capacity of conventional and tram-like BRT systems being studied.

 Reply by Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow:

1.             The viability of a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system for Tuas South will be determined based on projected public transport ridership, land and infrastructure requirements of the system, and its impact on existing traffic. As part of the feasibility study, we will look at different vehicle types to determine the optimal system design.

2.             We are considering BRT systems because they are potentially more economical, flexible, and faster to implement than rail or tram systems, which require dedicated infrastructure, such as tracks and signalling.
